I have looked high and low quite a while for the unpowered B&O Doodlebug, and finally finding one that was a bit pricey, but was the proverbial bird in the hand. It arrived today, with the end smashed. Just a warning that when you pack something, the packing material is supposed to be around all 6 sides equally, not like this shipper did. Hope he makes good on it.

I think the subject title of this thread shows incredible restraint on your part. That’s not the expletive I would have uttered when I saw the damage. That B&O paint scheme is one of the nicest around. Hope you get a refund and hope you find another.
Is that 30-2134-3? MTH used a plastic around that time that got brittle in time. A number of passenger cars got broken truck mounts while in transit. There is a fix for the passenger car truck mounts involving styrene and JB weld. Can’t see the repair on the passenger cars with shiny side up, but unfortunately, that’s not the case for the doodlebug.
